eat at the table

i just remembered how my mom always prepared food on the table. everyone should be at the table during meal time. nobody leaves the table unless the food is finished and the plates are clean.

then i noticed something here in jakarta. most of the small houses measuring 21 sq. m. rarely have tables in them. so i figured these people dont gather the family on the dining table. they just eat when they want to and where ever in the house they feel like eating. well, considering the size of a 21 sq. m. house, you practically see everyone where ever they might be in the house anyway.

just a thought.....
